I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 471
Seeing that the slave was in his thirties, Duanmuci couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Forget it, what can you do if you beat him like this? Can you retire from the Lu Kingdom's division? It's just adding resentment."

Seeing this, the slave quickly crawled over and said hastily:

"My lord... please help me... I am not a barbarian, but an out-and-out Lu man. Back then, the villain was reduced to a lowly slave because the Ji clan took away his farm and house. The villain knows that the state of Lu is now politically clear, and intends to let me return to the country, and issued an order, saying that to help the Lu people who have fallen outside, they can receive rewards when they return...My lord..."

Duanmuci heard the words, padded the remaining knife coin in his sleeve, and asked:

"How much is the ransom?"

The person holding the whip couldn't help but see the heavy cuffs of Duanmu Ci's eyes.Obviously, there must be a lot of money in it.So he put away his whip and said:
"You... are you really willing to redeem someone?"

Duanmuci asked for it from his cuff, and brought out two strings of hanging coins:

"That's natural, where is this personal bond?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Then you wait here!"

The man turned around and went back to the side room, and quickly took out the deed, and after explaining how much it was, Duan Muci stuffed the knives and coins into the man's hand.

After checking the quantity, the man handed the body deed to Duanmu Ci.

"Gao! You can go!"

Gao stood up with difficulty, and was about to kneel down to Duanmuci, but was supported by Duanmuci.

"There's no need to be so polite, let's go!"

Duanmuci and this man named Gao entered the official post. As soon as Duanmuci entered the house, he burned the identity deed and said:

"You rest here, and tomorrow morning, you can return home on your own!"

As Duanmuci said, he took out some knives and coins and handed them to Gao.Gao didn't refuse, but he didn't accept it, he just said:
"Thank you, sir. Don't you want to go back to the state of Lu? Now that the state of Zheng is in chaos, why don't we go back together? In this way, the bounty of the master will be settled."

Duanmuci shook his head when he heard the words:

"Hehe, there is no need. Since I have already burned your body deed, I never thought of asking you for ransom. What's more, I, Duanmu Zigong, are not short of the money, but I just can't bear it." Seeing that you are suffering here, you should go back by yourself..."

Gao couldn't help showing embarrassment.

"I... go back by myself? How can the villain repay the adult's life-saving grace?"

Duanmu gave a slight smile:
"Hehe, don't worry too much, go on your own..."

Unexpectedly, Gao suddenly knelt down in front of Duanmuci.

"Sir, Gao was deceived into the country of Zheng at the beginning, and he never reported to the official station during the journey. If he encounters a villain again, he will inevitably be in trouble. Please also keep the villain in By my side, if I can bring the villain back to the country of Lu, the villain will definitely be grateful for the great kindness of benefactor!"

"If Engong doesn't return to Lu State for the time being, then Gao will go wherever Engong goes, and I hope Engong will not drive Gao away..."

Duanmuci frowned, what he needed to do right now was to cooperate with Fan Li and rescue Jishi's family. Naturally, this matter needed to be kept very secret, and it would be very inconvenient if he had another person with him.

However, if Gao is allowed to leave like this, it is indeed as he said, he has no identity now, and it is inconvenient to go anywhere.

In fact, speaking of it, Gao is also a hard-working person.

He and his ancestors have been Lu people for generations, and they are the last batch of savages who plowed the land of the government.It was only because the Ji family later abolished the central army and divided up this part of the last public land.

And these people, because they are not from Ji's native place, so over time, their part of the land was gradually plundered by Ji's people.

Therefore, these people gradually became refugees.

In Gao's generation, the state of Lu couldn't stay any longer.At this time, he heard that Zheng Guoneng was a good earner, so he followed a businessman into Zheng Yi in a daze.

However, who knew that the businessman actually deceived Gao to Zhengyi, not only took his money, but also sold him to a rich family as a lowly slave.

Because of this, Gao also became a slave. Fortunately, he was rescued by Duan Muci, so he saw a glimmer of hope.

After some thought, Duanmuci said:

"Since that's the case, then you will stay here tomorrow and don't go anywhere. Maybe I will leave Zhengyi in the next few days, and you will be with me then!"

Gao Lianlian nodded and agreed, Duanmuci then asked Gao to clean up, and then each of them had a rest.

Duanmu Ci didn't think too much about this matter, what he was focusing on now was how to disturb Zheng Yi so that he could cooperate with Fan Li and the others to escape.

The next day, Duanmu Ci went out early in the morning.

On Fan Li's side, he took Guang'er to wander around the shops of various sacrifices. Fan Li also knew that there were Si Lu's eyeliners all around, so he just took Guang'er and walked around the city swaggeringly.

The members of the Four Sect followed closely, and found that Fan Li was not only accompanying Guang'er, but also dealing with some daily business affairs. After following him for a day, it can be said that he got nothing.

During the night, Duanmu Ci and Fan Li reconfirmed their actions for tomorrow night.

Now, the salt from the Wei Kingdom has quietly entered Zhengyi, and Fan Li is also ready to leave.

Guang'er didn't know anything about these things, so he went to bed early.Duanmuci was about to leave, but Fan Li hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"By the way, Li still wants to meet someone before leaving."

Duanmuci couldn't help asking in surprise:

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Si Kou Deng Xi."

Duan Muci heard the words, but he didn't take it seriously:
"Right now, leaving is imminent, so why bother? Now that Deng Xi is in prison, it may not be easy for Shao Bo to meet this person. If something happens, it will put more than a hundred members of the Ji clan in danger!"

After hearing this, Fan Li seemed to hesitate a bit, but finally said:
"Li knows that this person is quite talented, and is highly valued by Mr. Ziming. If Mr. Ziming hadn't invited him to come out of the mountain, how could he have suffered today's disaster? It would be a pity if this person died here. If you can save him by the way, it will be fine for you to use him in the future!"

Hearing these words, Duanmuci still shook his head and sighed. After all, this move was indeed too risky:
"But the current situation does not allow us to make any mistakes! Shaobo still needs to think twice before acting!"

"Well, it's not that Fan Li doesn't know the priorities. If he really doesn't have half a degree of confidence, Li won't think about it. It's just because the guards guarding Mr. Si Kou are quite familiar with Li. These people only need to give more With some money, it is not a problem to make him accommodate one or two!"

But Duanmu gave some instructions:

"It's just...the government guards the sacrificial mansion very closely... how about this, let's give it to Brother Shao, so that if something goes wrong in the middle, there will be someone to take care of him. I have heard that this person is quite famous, Ci also just took this opportunity to meet him."

So, the two agreed on this, and it was night, so they went out from the secret way.

Speaking of this secret path, it can be said to have played an extremely important role as the life connection between Fan Li and Duan Muci this time.

And this secret passage was actually built secretly by Li Ran when he was in Zheng Guo.

It was just because after the Great Fire of the Four Kingdoms, Ji Le's family was wiped out.Therefore, Li Ran took it as a warning and built a secret path to prevent similar situations from happening in the future.

The two went out from the secret passage and went directly to the prison.

As Fan Li himself said, he easily got through the relationship with the jailer, and met Deng Xi very smoothly.

I saw that Deng Xi was still calm and resting there with his eyes closed.It seems that this prison disaster did not seem to have a great impact on him.

As for his attire, although it was a bit dirty, it was still undamaged.Obviously, Sima did not torture him.
